This Toenail is Finally Healing

Applying Loceryl nail lacquer definitely helps to alleviate onychomycosis. It has been five months of conscientiously treating the problematic right big toenail with it, and the nail has begun sticking to the nailbed. The eeky thickened yellow ends are fading and new parts are growing out flat in a healthy pink hue. Whew.

Nobody is interested in my toenails but me. But this is a record of what's going on in my head, so I'm just gonna post scary photos of ugly toenails and feet. Haven't dared to go to a nail salon for months for fear of new infection or leaving horrible spores all over the place to infect others.

Toe nails are always chopped short and bald for very good reasons. Am clumsy. I don't want any bits of nail to be caught on anything. Eeeeps. Nowadays, I don't even bother with varnish on the toenails just so I could stare at them to catch any form of early infection of whatever, and also eczema. This is the healthiest my toenails have ever been, especially the right big toenail. Five more months of treatment should do it. Till I next stub it again, which happens fairly often. Likely gonna get tineacide spray in a low dosage for preventive purposes.

Notion

“A large, but not particularly impressive, book. Other books in the University's libraries had covers inlaid with rare jewels and fascinating wood, or bound with dragon skin. This one was just a rather tatty leather. It looked the sort of book described in library catalogues as 'slightly foxed', although it would be more honest to admit that it looked as though it had been badgered, wolved and possibly beared as well.
Metal clasps held it shut. They weren't decorated, they were just very heavy – like the chain, which didn't so much attach the book to the lectern as tether it.
They looked like the work of someone who had a pretty definite aim in mind, and who had spent most of his life making training harness for elephants.” ~ The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett
